Multi-Family Development — Interior Architecture & Design

This 14-story residential building is exceptional not just for its edgy, triangular shape, but also its unmatched, unobstructed views over Soho. With this perspective in mind, we designed the building’s interiors, completed two spectacular penthouses, and even collaborated on the exterior with BKSK Architects, resulting in a singular vision for downtown living that has stood the test of time.
In the units’ sizable kitchens, we wanted to replicate the custom feel of handmade furniture, so we selected a bespoke character grade bleached walnut for the cabinet fronts. The primary bathrooms, with tubs framed in floor to ceiling windows looking out over Manhattan, are unique and luxurious retreats. We recently found out that, in the 13 years since we had designed the apartments, only one family has renovated their kitchen (because of a leak). We know how rare that is, and it’s the type of compliment we don’t take for granted.
